I have... Last September when bumpershoot was going on. NOT a good time to go visit the Pacific Science Center, lol. At least it was easy to park my yaris:rolleyes: I'll make it over that way more often as the weather gets nicer, so keep your eye out for a meteorite metallic with black 17" wheels :headbang:

I'm hoping to get more suspension goodies by the time summer goes into full swing. So far I have had a blast with mods. Don't want to get too crazy though until the warranty is up. My latest addition is a NST pulley, next will be cruise control. I'll put word out of any ventures over to Seattle, as I too would love to see what other Yarii owners have done to their rides.

Sweet! What brand of bar are you going to install? I put a tanabe on mine and noticed a big difference during my commute from Yakima to Wenatchee :thumbup:

Sweet man! How's the pulley treating you? Any differences?

I have to say, I LOVE IT! :wub: I don't feel that it improved my "off the line" takeoffs, but it is noticeable when you already have some momentum and give it some throttle. :thumbup: It is equally noticeable on the freeway and on hills. I took it to a mechanic friend of mine and he got it installed in about 15 minutes. I think it gave me a little more response than my TRD exhaust did, and it cost about a third. If you want a nice performance upgrade that will shave just over 2 pounds off of the car and have a positive effect on MPG (not huge, but it is a wee bit better, will have numbers soon.) it is worth the $120 w/shipping. The NST one works fine, and is WAY cheaper than C-ONE. :burnrubber:

I purchased the Tanabe strut bar. I already have the Tanabe NF 210 lowering springs and like the Tanabe combination. I will also install the pulley soon. I've heard great feedback.

It would be pretty cool to hold a yaris meet at this gathering. So far I am the only Yaris that will be attending, but hopefully some fellow owners might want to go as well. There will be lots of scions, hoping to get those Yarii numbers up too!:biggrin:

Argh! Why couldn't you have moved there sooner? lol
I used to live there, moved to Portland summer 08, then moved to Wenatchee summer 09. Looking forward to meeting you at the Mt. St. Helens cruise. Oh, beware of Bud Clary toyota's service department. They don't know shit, will break or damage your car, and lie to you and can't keep a story straight. :thumbdown:

There was a guy who's shown up to meets who lives in spokane but he's stopped posting and no ones heard from him for about a year now. He has a black liftback and has replaced his toyota badges with skulls and crossbones, he has an 08 sport. He usually flies with a pirate flag off of the antenna too.
